Synbiotic meal decreases uremic toxins in hemodialysis individuals: A placebo-controlled trial.

Food research international (Ottawa, Ont.)
Generation of uremic toxins p-cresylsulfate (p-CS), indoxyl sulfate (IS) and indole 3-acetic acid (IAA) in hemodialysis (HD) individuals may be associated with the gut flora and recognized markers of disease progression. This study investigated the e...

Artificial intelligence outperforms experienced nephrologists to assess dry weight in pediatric patients on chronic hemodialysis.

Pediatric nephrology (Berlin, Germany)
BACKGROUND: Dry weight is the lowest weight patients on hemodialysis can tolerate; correct dry weight estimation is necessary to minimize morbi-mortality, but is difficult to achieve. Here, we used artificial intelligence to improve the accuracy of d...

High soluble CD30 levels and associated anti-HLA antibodies in patients with failed renal allografts.

The International journal of artificial organs
INTRODUCTION: Serum soluble CD30 (sCD30), a 120-kD glycoprotein that belongs to the tumor necrosis factor receptor family, has been suggested as a marker of rejection in kidney transplant patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationsh...

Assessment of the pharmacokinetics, removal rate of hemodialysis, and safety of lactulose in hemodialysis patients.

Journal of food and drug analysis
Lactulose is often used to treat hepatic encephalopathy or constipation, and also exhibits benefits to chronic renal insufficiency due to reduce nitrogen-related products in serum. The present study investigated the pharmacokinetics of lactulose, its...

An international observational study suggests that artificial intelligence for clinical decision support optimizes anemia management in hemodialysis patients.

Kidney international
Managing anemia in hemodialysis patients can be challenging because of competing therapeutic targets and individual variability. Because therapy recommendations provided by a decision support system can benefit both patients and doctors, we evaluated...

Persisting Hypocalcemia After Surgical Parathyroidectomy: The Differential Effectiveness of Calcium Citrate Versus Calcium Carbonate With Acid Suppression.

The American journal of the medical sciences
The effectiveness of oral calcium (Ca) may be contingent on a patient׳s factors beyond compliance, such as proton-pump inhibitor use and the choice of calcium supplements. A 32-year-old Hispanic male with end-stage renal disease on peritoneal dialysi...

Serum phosphate as an additional marker for initiating hemodialysis in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease.

Biomedical journal
BACKGROUND: Reconsidering when to initiate renal replacement therapy (RRT) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been emphasized recently. With evolving modern aged and diabetes-prone populations, conventional markers of uremia are not su...

Understanding safety-critical interactions with a home medical device through Distributed Cognition.

Journal of biomedical informatics
As healthcare shifts from the hospital to the home, it is becoming increasingly important to understand how patients interact with home medical devices, to inform the safe and patient-friendly design of these devices. Distributed Cognition (DCog) has...

A new machine learning approach for predicting the response to anemia treatment in a large cohort of End Stage Renal Disease patients undergoing dialysis.

Computers in biology and medicine
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) anemia is one of the main common comorbidities in patients undergoing End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). Iron supplement and especially Erythropoiesis Stimulating Agents (ESA) have become the treatment of choice for that ane...
